Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."We don't need to purchase any hardware for this solution."
"Rubrik, when compared to Cohesity, Dell, and Veritas, was the best of the four."
"Disk mount that lets a restore happen immediately, no need to re-hydrate."
"What I like about Rubrik is its strong focus on security, particularly in combating ransomware threats."
"Cut backup remediation to nearly nothing."
"The fact that the API is so available to us with the playground — there's an internal and public playground — is also valuable. We can write API calls — and although I'm sure there's a way we could hurt the data — we write those calls with a lot of certainty that we won't be destroying anything. We write these API calls using really easy mechanisms and generate automation a lot faster."
"Rubrik simplifies our data backup and recovery processes significantly. It's very straightforward to use. We start by tagging through VMware, and everything tagged for Rubrik is backed up automatically. Backups are much better and faster because Rubrik takes a full snapshot of the virtual machine. We recently conducted a verification by performing a restore, and even during the restore process, we could bring up the server in less than 10-15 minutes. Additionally, we have set up alerts for sensitive data, which helps us track data."
"Rubrik is very simple to implement and setup. "
"The search functionality is second to none as the speed of the search is fast across the whole system and predictive."
"Lacks sufficient documentation or training videos."
"If there was something that we could get Rubrik to fix, it would be when our DBS takes snapshots of a server or the database, the replication doesn't kick off fast enough. They can't remote it to the peer site and manipulate it back up in order to move it over, take a copy of production, slap it over, and test it out. As I understand, they are working on it. Replication works. We also get spoiled by how good things are now. We get to a point where it is so easy but when something isn't instant gratification, it seems that everything else is so amazing, why isn't this right?"
"We would like to be able to do granular restores directly from Exchange. Also, more granular management of VM backups would help."
"The Polaris piece could use improvement. When you get a report and you have events that are suspicious, you cannot drill down and find out why it's suspicious. You only know it's suspicious, but you don't know the root cause. Other than that, everything works well."
"The only thing that can be improved is catering for open source databases because at the moment it doesn't cater for Mongo, MySQL, and Postgres."
"It is an expensive product."
"I want to see more features regarding filtering in the Snapshot Window, as I need to be able to set a filter for specific dates and times. If I want to check an old backup, I must scroll through one or two years of backups to find what I'm looking for."
"I would like to see more information on encryption with the next release."
"Rubrik is expensive."
